Data Science for Improving Charlotte

 

Do you believe data analytics can improve the lives of people in Charlotte? Show us how in the Queen City's most anticipated data science and machine learning hackathon. Registration is now open!

The Goal

Charlotte is an awesome city to live in, but like every city, it comes with challenges- skyrocketing housing prices, a lack of economic mobility, rush-hour gridlock, rising crime rates, and more. We believe Charlotte's robust tech community can help lead the effort to improve life in the city by using data science and machine learning.

This Hackathon is open to all! We will have data science and engineering mentors on-hand to lend advice to teams.

What You’ll Do

  • Choose a dataset related to improvement in Charlotte

  • Train a machine learning model

  • Build an engineering solution that allows a user to interact with the model or 
    enables the model to serve decisions to an application.
